OVERVIEW OF THE ROLE

As a Clinical Psychologist within the Hummingbird service, you will report directly to the Senior Clinical Psychologist and the Director of Therapy at the Helen Bamber Foundation responsible for the service and support them in providing a comprehensive range of therapeutic interventions to clients of the Hummingbird Project. This role will include delivery of highly specialised psychological assessments for both medico-legal and clinical purposes, provision of appropriate evidence-based therapies, delivery of clinical supervision to staff, and where relevant, supervision of assistant and trainee clinical psychologists on final year specialist placements. At times, the role may include input into policy, research and fundraising and delivery of consultancy and training.

We are looking for someone who is committed to working therapeutically with young asylum seeking or refugee people who experience trauma spectrum disorders and other psychological difficulties as a result of surviving human rights abuses, separation from family, and/or post-migration stressors. In addition to proven experience in working therapeutically with this client group, the candidate will have a passion for human rights work beyond the individual client work, and a desire to contribute to effecting change at a policy level. This role requires the ability to react and respond creatively and appropriately to the needs of both charities. You will be expected to travel to London for up to three weeks during the first year to attend inductions and other trainings (your travel costs will be met).

Please note that the successful candidate will be offered the role subject to suitable references and a DBS check. This role will require disclosure of both the adult and child barring lists. If appointed, you will be required to give your consent to HBF to receive regular updates on your criminal records status and to disclose any relevant convictions incurred during your time with us.
